yellow eyes
Hi bill1954 Im asking because I have hep c and Im would like to know if I should be concerned. My doctor says its nothing but I dont believe him and Im really tiered all the time now way worse than I ever was. Ive had hep c for 12 years that i know of, and Im getting worried
I'm not Bill either but Diane is giving you excellent advice. Sometimes the whites of eyes have a yellowish tinge and it is not jaundice and is nothing to worry about. Like Diane alludes to, usually with jaundice there is a coca cola colored urine and very pale whitish or grayish bowel movements. You really need a doctor to take a look at you and the best way to go is a hepatologist, gastroenterologist, or even an infectious disease doctor if the other specialists are not available in your area.
I'm not Bill, but I will tell you my experience. I had a doc that acted like it wasn't anything to worry about, so I found another one. The lack of knowledge in the medical profession about hep c is amazing. You need to see a specialist. If there is a hepatologist within driving distance, that would be your best bet, if not, go to a gastrointerologist. Yellow eyes need to be checked out because they mean you have excess bilirubin in your blood. What color is your urine and stools?
